    After exploring the ruins, cool off with a refreshing swim in one of the Yucatán’s beautiful cenotes — natural freshwater sinkholes hidden in the jungle. Each cenote offers its own magic, from crystal-clear turquoise water to dramatic limestone walls and lush greenery. Float, swim, or simply relax as you take in the tranquil sounds of nature. It’s the perfect way to unwind and connect with the natural beauty of the region after a morning of exploration.
